- Nooksack Falls, Washington (waterfallrecord.com)
I visited the Seattle region this past weekend, and I wasn’t exactly sure what to expect weather-wise. Rain would be predicted in the region, and it did rain. It was also predicted that there would be snow at higher elevations as the day progressed. This made me a little bit concerned. Being from Michigan, I’m no stranger to snow, but I also don’t enjoy driving in it! I decided, though, that I was going to head in the direction of Nooksack Falls, and hope that there wasn’t any snow in my way.
